Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) rules state: “It is strictly prohibited to use sidewalks/pavements, paths or cycle paths that do not form part of the course (i.e. those separated by kerbs, verges, level changes or other physical features) if a dangerous situation is created inter alia for other riders, spectators or race personnel by such action or if such action procures a significant advantage over other riders.”

Elia Viviani returns to the lead of the race, which has so far swapped between himself and Caleb Ewan, as the Australian finished fifteenth and missed out on the time bonuses for the top three.
